I agree. The systems *can* cater for it, but "people", to save
themselves some effort, don't put the order limit info into the back
office system.

And I, for my own reasons which I outlined (and one other), don't put an
order reference into the trading system. Getting the (ASX-provided)
trading system changed would be met with the bureaucratic equivalent of
ROFL - it's been substantially unchanged since it was introduced just
about 10 years ago.
